One of the best eInk writing experiences out there, but the software needs work. Notes are trapped in the Kindle ecosystem and the import/export method for your own documents is minimal.
Decent hardware -- abysmal software. Your notes are locked into their ecosystem, it's impossible to change many settings (like background paper type) after the fact, hard to migrate anything in or out. And the hardware is closed, so third party/independent devs can't write software for it. No idea if anyone has hacked it yet --- doubtful, given litigious Amazon + high cost of the unit + so few adopters.
I wish they offered the 20% off for Amazon device trade in on these.

how is it as a kindle ebook reader? My wife loves her oasis. I thought she may love this as a bigger screen upgrade if it has warm light and all that; and the note taking would be a bonus. I want it at like $150 tho maybe without premium pen

Tested both - Scribe and remarkable 2. Couldn't find any difference between eraser function. kindle has a drawback of exchanging notebooks between pc app and scribe. The exchanged books show immediately if not after clicking the sync tab but the notebooks created in kindle can be shared only by email. Please let me know if anyone has solved this issue.

That is why I just returned mine. It should be easier to export

I bought one of these to use just as an ebook reader and works great. It's not all that heavy but I do have other Kindles like a Voyage and a 2022 Basic. If it's part of a rotation I'd recommend it but not as the only Kindle I own.

Apologies but nothing came up on initial searches: can I annotate a personal PDF document and export this annotated PDF as a separate, single file?

Love mine for taking notes. That screen is awesome. Great for marking up PDFs as well.

Yes, but the process is fairly convoluted. Generally getting files on to the device is straightforward and getting them off is anything but.

While the export of the notes is annoying is true as indicated by most. But this is the first Kindle over the last few years that has actually gotten me to start to read. It's big and most importantly it is responsive. Unlike other Kindle, the page flip and overall control are very smooth on the scribe. I was never able to get into reading with the kindle due to the lagginess.
